    SERIOUSLY? I hate being alone! I want to have a significant other to spend some quality time with, to cuddle with, etc. How do gays find partners without going to the typical "gay spots" (gay clubs, gay centers at school, etc.)?

    I feel for you! :icon_sad:

    Why, however, would you not go to the gay centers at school?

    I'm just not comfortable going to those places. Plus, the gay center at my school is REALLY political. I know too many people there. They'd first of all be shocked that I'm there, and secondly, would chatter about it, thus outing myself to many people. I'm not planning on outing myself to everyone.

    Yeah, I'm definitely not the clubbing type. Are we just going to be forever alone? This is SOOO depressing! :tears:

    I think a significant other would come from friendship. Maybe the friends you make here become close to you in the future and that you can connect to them in a romantic way. ^_^

    Here is something that you need to know: for the sake of argument, you show up at the school club; they are surprised, of course, and probably quite happy to have someone join their crowd. Eventually it gets out to whoever will listen, people will chatter about it for approximately 48 hours, after which you will be amazed at how fast the next "thing" makes everyone pretty much forget about what you kept as your deepest secret.

    What is the benefit? People now know, and maybe, just maybe, some other closeted guy who may have had a secret crush on you will muster the kind of courage you have shown by going to that club and he will approach you! What will you do then? Maybe enjoy the beginning of a life-long friendship....

    Good point, but probably a long shot in terms of reality. I don't know if I'll be able to muster that courage to go to the LGBT Center on campus. Ugh, life... :bang:

    Here's the thing about courage. You can have all the qualities in the world, you could be the world's best boyfriend...ever! Except that the price of admission is courage (actually it's the price of making your own life in this world!): it's the one quality that validates all the others.

    It goes to the need for vulnerability, you need to understand that nothing can ever happen without you putting yourself in the arena for all to see and taking the risk that will open doors you never knew existed. Many of us here at EC have done it.

    I bet you can do it...I dare you! :grin:

    Eh.. It just shows you anyone within a age range and a distance ranger whether they have been online or not... I don't like internet dating though so... maybe not a fair opinion lol

    I'm sorry, "Somebody to Love" immediately popped into my head after reading the title.

    I tend to sing this whenever I feel forever alone. Queen is awesome therapy. :thumbsup:

    I wish I could help you, but I've got the same problem...
